Hi everyone, i thought id tell you all what happened to me at the weekend1
Well its saturday evening dancing away to crimbo music and feeling a little out of breath, but carrying on anyway this was as 9pm, by 10 i was really wheezy which was odd because my asthma is very well controlled then and my being serious literally all of a sudden i stopped breathing, and it kept happening i caught my breath then stopped! i was in the middle of my first major asthma attack in wait for it 13 years! i took my inhaler but nothing it wouldnt shift i took that inhaler so much it ran out and i had nothing to help me so my mum went to get one from my nan who is on the same inhalers but by the time i got back it was too late i was sitting up with my head back trying to get any oxygen i could and the pain in my chest was unbearable! so my mum rang the dr, who said that he would send the on call dr round with a nebulizer well 10 mins had past i was seeing spots and felt so dizzy when the dr rang saying that he couldnt get to me and that he had called an ambulance! so at 11:00pm the paramedics arrived and gave me oxygen! btw that stuff rocks! talk about a high! then i was nebulized after which they took my peak flow which was around 100 when my norm is 400/450 and so i was carted by ambulance with flashing lights and sirens on oxygen to QA(Queen Alexandra) hospital where i waited in a wheelchair as i had blacked out for a dr to see me and by the time he did see me my peak flow was back to 300 but i was watched for almost two hours as my heart rate had shot WAY up i was tachiacardic! i was also TERROFIED the dr was like if you hadnt had been seen by the paramedics theres a high chance you wouldnt be here in the morning! anyway at 3am i was allowed home my mum was so scared that when i got back she nearly crushed me when she hugged me! the drs say that my consultant was wrong when i complained my inhalers didnt seem to work correctly and that if i continue to get worse i will have a home nebulizer and oxygen tank! WHAT A WEEKEND! is all i can say!

so i spent the day trying to get my breathe and i couldn't walk, my friends had to support me! and after a bit of a rest i came over it, but the side affects were sickness and headaches for 4 days! :o my dad complained and the school sed that it didnt look like an asthma attack and they didnt think it was serious also because my attendance had been bad. Great! my attendance comes before my life!
